As a Guidance Counselor, I work closely and personally with students to help them choose the best schools for them, and know what admissions officers are looking for. However, like most counselors, the demands of the school day simply does not allow for the time or environment to give the direct one-on-one attention that we'd really like to provide.
So, it may be worth looking into some individualized attention outside of the school system; much like getting a tutor to help with that tricky math class, finding an application review specialist, may be a perfect solution. Let's face it: teenagers procrastinate for a bevy of reasons, but in my experience, it's usually just a fear of the unknown. Wouldn't it be nice to have an experienced mentor to get them going and walk them through the application process, and then review their essays or personal statements and ensure that the application is up to snuff?
Normally, I don't self-promote, but today I'm going too. I offer one-on-one application review and support with over 15 years working directly with students. So here is what I can do:
I'll review, help you or your student improve and work on transforming your (or their) ideas and goals into applications that get admission offers.
Do you have a less then perfect transcript or low test scores? I'll show you how to make a connection, find the right school for you and overcome your obstacles.
I'll work with you to refine a winning application essay or personal statement that's sure to get you noticed. I'll share insider tips with you and work closely on editing and proofreading your entire application.
I have helped hundreds of successful students and I can help you and your apprehensive student, too.
